Heh. - PDF doesn't work. -> Open PDF in Acrobat, save as EPS. - EPS doesn't work. -> Open PDF in Acrobat, save as TIFF. -> import TIFF *sigh* The online edition is always several megabytes larger than it should be because of clients who generate weird PDFs we're forced to rasterise to print. A full A3 page that's a single TIFF is ... kinda large. Sadly, getting clients to use our JobOptions is a neverending battle, as is getting them to simply send PDF 1.3. > It would be difficult to tell without looking at the files to compare. > If you have irc, look for me (mrdocs) on at #scribus on irc.freenode.net > > I have Quark 4 and 5 on a Mac here, along with Scribus.
